As a talent sourcer searches and identifies suitable candidates. To do this, they use various proactive recruiting strategies. Sourcers look for both active and passive candidates. A sourcer generates interest in an organization’s vacancies and also builds and maintains the company’s talent pool. In larger organizations, a talent sourcer can be part of a recruitment team taking care of building a candidate pipeline for one or more job requisitions. In smaller companies, sourcing will usually be a task for the HR Generalist who can, of course, decide to outsource this part of the process to an external party.
